- Cheap versus expensive.
- Which is our fucking names.
(laughter)
- Neither of us are one of those.
We're both one of those. - Yeah.
Yeah, you decide. - Yes.
- It's us and expensive.
(slow music)
We're gonna be drinking cheap alcohol and expensive alcohol,
and then we're gonna be seeing if we know the difference.
- Do you think you're gonna be able to tell the difference?
- I'll probably prefer the cheap stuff
to be honest with you.
- I am cheap. - Yeah. (laughs)
- Maybe I will prefer the cheap one
just because it's what I normally have.
- Yeah, I think I'll like them both 'cause I have a problem.
(laughter)
- I think it's fair to say neither of us
have any notions at all. - No.
- We'll be happy whatever we get.
- And you know, we might be able to decide,
I think that's more expensive one,
but I actually prefer the taste of this one.
That's what we do. - There you go, yeah.
- Oh!
- (laughs) I swear to God. - Oh no!
(laughter)
- [Man] One of these is a gin priced at 25.99
and the other one is a gin priced at 90 euro.
- I'm sorry, what's weird there
is that I thought the 25.99 one was the expensive one.
- Same!
(laughter)
- Oh my God. - I was like, oh, wowsers!
(laughter)
You're really treatin' us!
- This has to be the 90 euro gin, doesn't it?
- Possibly, but I think that could also be a red herring.
- See, I've never seen a not clear gin
and I'm only buying cheap gin,
so I think this is the more expensive guy.
- They're both gin?
- Just one's a fucking card altogether.
- Honest to God. (sniffs)
- Jesus, don't tell me father how much you paid.
You paid how much?
(laughter)
- Cheers. - Cheers.
(glass banging)
(slow music)
- There's more going on there.
- There's, yeah. - Lot more going on.
Does that mean it's more expensive or not?
- It almost tastes like a whiskey or something, doesn't it?
- Yeah, there's a weird back taste off of it.
- The smell was worse than the taste.
- Yeah. - It's actually fine.
- Let's go- - X?
- X. - Okay.
- X marks the spot.
- Ah, there's that gin taste.
- Yeah, that tastes like gin. - Yeah, ooh.
- Ah, that has to be the 90 euro one.
That's like drinking fucking- - It's very silky.
- So silky, it's like drinking water.
- Yeah. - Alcoholic water.
- It's lovely. - That's lovely.
- It's very nice.
- That's bloody delicious. - Fruity, love it, yeah.
- Oh, big fan of that.
- I like the taste of gin.
See, I told you.
- I'm not a big gin man.
- Yeah, it's like, this is my job, I like this.
- That's the flavor you know and love.
- That goes down like water.
Surely that's the more expensive one.
- Now-
- Thank you for your time and your service.
- Yeah. (laughs)
- Very good stuff.
Lovely.
- I wish you did that after every drink.
- I might.
(laughter)
- Yeah, the O is the expensive one.
- The O is definitely the expensive one.
It's also the one I prefer more.
I'm more of a whiskey and rum type of guy.
- I like gin.
This is, I prefer the cheaper kind.
- I prefer the X, yeah.
- I prefer the X, but like, it's not even that we prefer it,
but we think it's the more expensive one.
- The clearer one was cheaper and the O-
- I think, yeah, I think that's, I think, yeah.
X was cheaper, preferred the O.
- [Man] The X was Gordon's London Dry Gin, 25.99
and the O was a gin called La Bota De Gin at 90 Euro.
- Woo.
- Sorry!
- She got there in the end, finally.
- Sorry, sorry.
- I felt like a traffic signal guy, like pass, stop, stop.
- Fuck off.
I was like, is he gonna turn around and tell me now
that the nicer one is the cheaper one?
And I was like, there's no way.
- I'll tell you this right now,
if you told me this is was a fancy bottle of vinegar,
I'd say, that's true, or olive oil or something.
- They don't need the details. - No.
- The price speaks for itself.
- No, actually, genuinely, I do think it's a quite nice gin.
I think the fact that it's barrel rested,
there was something that wasn't gelling.
I was like, I'm getting a bit of wood,
getting a bit of the oak.
And for me, I think I just want my gin
to be straightforward. - Yeah.
- It's not a great bottle. - Very simplistic.
- Not a great bottle. - Very simple for,
I'd be, yeah. - No notions on it though.
- All about what's inside.
I like that.
Actually, it's winning me over more.
- Notions detector?
No notions detected. - Yeah.
- Fair play.
- [Man] One of these is a vodka priced at 23 euro
and the other is a vodka priced at 135.99.
- What?
For vodka?
- 135 euros? - 135.99.
- I don't- - For vodka?!
- I don't get the point of expensive vodka.
- 135.99?!
- Mm-hmm.
- For the distillery, is it?
To buy the place?
You're not, that's not-
- 135?!
Should you say no, I know an awful place
you can get a cheap fucking one, a cheap fucking vodka.
You get it at 5.99, easy.
- I know a fellow who makes it in his bath.
- Easy. - He gets a few buckets full.
- No bother. - No bother.
- They're both exactly the same to look at.
You'd never know which one is gonna be more expensive one.
- No.
(slow music)
- Tastes like cheap vodka.
- Tastes like vodka.
- Vodka vodka.
- I don't mind that one at all, the X is nice.
- Yeah, doesn't really catch. - No.
- Oh, that's sharp around the back of your throat.
- See, that's what I'm more familiar with.
- I think this is gonna be a lot better.
(glass clinking)
(glass banging)
(slow music)
- That's lovely. - That's really nice.
- That tastes- - Oh my God.
- That's smoother.
- This is ridiculously smooth.
- That's insane. - Yeah.
- That one has more of a breathiness to it.
- Yeah.
- It tastes good. - Yeah, what the fuck.
Just drank vodka straight
and was like, oh my God, that's lovely.
Well yeah, one of them is-
- One of these is 23 quid.
- The O- - Yeah.
- I'm thinking is the more expensive.
- Because this was an unusual shot,
I think that's the more expensive one.
- Me too. - Yeah.
- I think O is more expensive.
- [Man] You're both going for the O as the more expensive?
- Going O. - Yes, we've agreed.
- You are both correct.
- Hey!
We're killing this shit.
- [Man] The X is Smirnoff vodka,
your standard Smirnoff vodka- - Yeah.
- [Man] And then the O is Beluga Gold Line Russian vodka.
- Beluga. - Yep.
- [Both] Beluga! (laughs)
- We were right. - Yeah.
- Bang on the money.
- Yeah, still love my cheap shit.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, that's lovely.
Look at me with my expensive-
- Expensive taste. - Taste in vodka.
- Oh my God. - That is absolutely sexual.
Oh! - Oh wow.
- Oh my word!
- Look at the color Beluga on it.
- That's embossed with metal, as well.
That is a fancy bottle of vodka.
- That is a fancy bottle of vodka.
- The little hammer was used to break off this wax thing.
(tapping)
- It looks like clay, doesn't it?
- It actually looks like chocolate.
- Oh, delicious chocolate.
- That's incredible vodka.
- That's wonderful.
- Beluga! - Beluga!
(laughter)
- [Man] One of these is a scotch priced at 28.99
and the other is priced at 219 euro 99 cent.
- What?
219 euro and 99 cent. - Mm-hmm.
- Holy crap.
- What do people have to be spending 200 quid
on a singular bottle of alcohol?
You mustn't be drinking it.
You must be just looking at it.
- They ripped you off.
Go back to the shop.
Do you have the receipt?
Bring back, you've been done there.
- 219.99.
I've never owed anything that expensive.
- One is very expensive and the other one is average.
- I'm gonna say this one is the more expensive one.
- Oh straight off the bat, you've got a decision.
- [Man] Would you like scotch normally?
- I love scotch, scotchy scotch scotch.
(laughter)
There it goes down-
- Down into my belly. - Down into my belly.
Yeah, I like a bit of scotch.
Yeah, sure.
- Let's go for the cheapest one,
which I think is the cheapest one, the O.
Cheers.
(glass banging)
(slow music)
- Now, there's more flavor going on,
but I actually feel that that was sharper
going down my throat.
- Mmm, oh yeah, the flavor though.
Beautiful.
- Yep, that's grand.
- Yep, it goes down easy enough.
- Yeah.
- X. - You're going for X?
Cheers. (glass clinking)
- Wow.
- That's- - Wow.
- That goes down like nothing.
- Oh, that's lovely.
- Oh, that's very smooth.
- It's nice, isn't that?
- That's gorgeous. - Nice.
- Who am I?
Do you remember a year ago even?
- I am so proud. - Yeah.
- I'm so so proud.
- You're the first person I did a whiskey video with
and we had to water it down and even still I was-
- That's right, yeah. - Fucking choking.
Look at me now. - Look at you now.
I've ruined you.
Yes!
- It's the taste of the peat.
- Oak-y, peat-y, rich flavor.
You feel like you'd be drinking this
whilst you're sitting in a leather arm chair by a fire-
- With a cigar. - With a bookcase and a cigar
and a Great Dane sitting by your side.
- [Man] You think the X is more expensive?
- Surely. - X, more expensive.
Johnnie Walker Blue Label.
(glass banging)
- I think it's the O.
- I think it's the O is the more expensive one.
- Yeah.
- X is more expensive.
- X marks the spot.
- I can tell you that - - Oh no.
- Actually- - Fuck off.
- [Man] The X is Johnnie Walker Blue Label.
(laughter)
- He had me.
- [Man] The O is Famous Grouse.
- Oh wow,
a 20 and fucking something euro bottle of Famous Grouse.
- [Man] You're incorrect 'cause you got it wrong this time.
- The Johnnie Walker's the more expensive one?
- [Man] Johnnie Walker Blue Label.
- I was fucking thinking for a second.
Oh, interesting.
We preferred the fucking expensive one.
- Oh my God, Dermot Ward, we've lost sight of-
- We prefer the expensive one.
- We've lost all of ourselves.
- Do we have notions?
Hold on. (making beeping noise)
Notions.
Aw.
- Johnnie Walker. - Oh, it's so fancy.
- So fancy.
I mean, look at that.
- I've never had Johnnie Walker Blue Label before.
- Would you believe I have also
not had a 219 euro bottle of scotch before?
- And Johnnie Walker,
I think Johnnie Walker gets a lot of shit
'cause it is the most popular brand of scotch,
but this is the jewel in the crown for Johnnie Walker.
And I can see why, it's a really good whiskey.
- It is a thing of sheer beauty.
- I feel like this is you
holding your newborn child quite frankly.
- Oh, I wouldn't be this careful with a child.
Don't be ridiculous.
(laughter)
- God, I'm feeling it already.
- I'm feeling it now already, as well.
You're already eyelids just dropped a little bit.
- Yeah, it's just like, fuck, wake up Sarina, it's fine.
- X was the Blue Label. - Yep.
- 'Cause I'm not gonna be drinking a 219 euro
bottle of scotch again, so I might as I finish it.
- How drunk are you?
(laughs) Oh, you're scrunched Muppet drunk.
(laughter)
- [Man] One of these is a bourbon priced at 33 euro
and the other is a bourbon priced at 250 euro.
- Fuck me. - Oh God.
- Fuck me in the nose.
- Oh my God.
- I do love a bourbon.
- That's like, that's-
- Are we gonna crack 300 on the next one?
- This is like a urine sample when you've had a few
and this is a urine sample, you're hydrated,
which I think should be called a wee transfer.
I don't think it should be called a urine sample.
A wee transfer.
(clapping)
- What am I doing?
- (laughs) Thank you for your service.
(laughter)
- I think this is the fancier one.
The X is the fancier one. - Okay.
- We'll drink the less fancy one first, so the X can linger.
- Okay. - Yeah?
- Right. - Okay, cheers.
- That's more expensive.
- Oh, that's delicious.
That's delicious.
- Oh. - Not a fan?
- Oh yeah. - Oh, good fan.
- Oh! - Oh!
- Oh wow, okay, I wasn't expecting that.
- It has a bit of a sting in the front.
Whoever made this bottle of bourbon,
it's like, what the fuck are these morons talking about?
They don't understand tastes at all.
It's fucking vanilla. - Those idiots.
- There's no caramel or peat or anything.
- Yeah, go X.
(slow music)
- That is the more expensive one.
- The X? - Mm-hmm.
- That's nice.
I do think that that's the cheaper one.
- I think I prefer O.
- X, actually now after lingering around,
it feels actually sharper.
We're really struggling at this, so that just-
- Hold on.
- That's-
- [Man] That's not gonna help at all.
- It doesn't help at all, I don't know why I did it.
- This one had a lot to it.
I'll put it that way.
There was a whole big party in your mouth.
It was just warm- - But it burned ya.
- Yeah.
I think the more expensive a drink,
the more smooth it's gonna be.
- I agree.
- Which is why I think the X has gotta be the expensive one.
- Yeah, I agree.
- I'm gonna lock in X is cheaper, O is more expensive.
- God, is your chest on fire?
Surely the one that has literally set my chest on fire
has to be the cheaper one,
so I think X is more expensive one.
- I'm happy to go with you
'cause I genuinely don't have a strong enough opinion.
But you think O?
- Yep.
- [Man] I can tell you that the X is Jim Beam bourbon
at 33 euro, and the O is Bomberger's Declaration bourbon
2018 Release at 250 euro.
- Ooh.
- [Man] The O is the more expensive one.
- Well, on the bright side, I have very cheap tastes.
- Yeah.
- Again, bottle notions. - No, I like that.
- Simple, look at this, the label's almost coming off.
- Again, I'd put that-
- The label is really coming off.
Holy shit, look at this.
(laughter)
Okay, have some notions, lads.
- Bomberger's. (laughs)
It's very similar to Bob's Burgers.
- Yes, it's unfortunate for the time.
- I really like that one.
I'm a big fan of bourbon.
I think that's really, really nice.
- Bomberger's. - Bomberger's.
- Bomberger's is-
- Bomberger's sounds like a good name for a burger joint,
as well. - Yeah, right.
- Is it Bomberger's or Bomberger's?
Am I having a stroke?
Who knows.
(laughter)
- [Man] Either way, yes.
- The answer is yes.
- [Man] One of these is an Irish whiskey priced at 28.99.
The other is an Irish whiskey priced at 670 euro.
- Who the fuck paid for a 670 euro bottle of whiskey?
- Fucking hell.
- 670 euros?
- Are we allowed to drink this?
I could sell my piss if I drink this. (laughs)
- And I would drink it.
(laughter)
What?! - At the right price.
- No, I'd do it for free.
(laughter)
What the fuck you talking about?
What?!
600 euro?!
- 670. - 670 is almost,
sorry, it's almost 700 euro.
- You're giving us the most delicate and discerning flavor
at the end when we've already had all these other alcohols,
like this should have been,
well, I understand why you made it the last one
because it's just like- - 670 fucking euro.
- Yeah.
- I put my nose in the fucking thing again.
- (laughs) Oh my fucking God,
that smells so good, doesn't it?
- It's actually pretty nice.
- Oh my God, it smells like vanilla.
- Oh God, I fucking did it again.
(laughter)
- Okay, what are we going for first?
The O?
(glass banging)
- It doesn't taste bad.
Like as I said, cheap doesn't mean bad.
- Wow.
- That's fucking insanely smooth.
- It's ridiculous.
(laughs) You already, yeah?
- Are you ready for the ultimate shot?
- The ultimate expensive shot.
- What do we cheers?
No, we have to have a good cheers.
- We have to cheers to people who are watching this video.
- Cheers to people watching and to the TRY Channel.
- To the TRY Channel and to all of you guys out there
who watch week after week after week,
we wouldn't be here without you.
- Exactly. - Love you guys.
(glass banging)
(slow music)
(glass banging)
- That is Teeling 24.
(glass banging)
- I think it's gotta be, right?
- It has to be. - Has to be, right?
- It has to be. - Has to be.
Has to be.
- Oh yeah, mmm.
- That's the expensive one.
- Oh my God, yeah, ooh.
Ooh. - There's so many layers.
- The X, but the, it tastes like whiskey.
It just taste like whiskey, like what's special about it?
Why is it 670 euros?
- If I am correct,
this was the world's best single malt whiskey in 2019 or so.
- You mean world's best based on sales?
- No, based on votes,
like this was awarded the world's best single malt.
- I actually, you know what,
I don't wanna drink any more of 'em.
I kind of wanna make the decision now
just so I can enjoy these. - Yeah.
- Because I need to know which one is which,
but I think we have to say-
- That is nectar of Gods right there.
- I think, oh my God.
- I just suckled on the tits of Jesus Christ quite frankly.
(laughter)
- Oh my God.
I hope beyond hope that it is the cheapest one.
I hope to fuck it is.
- [Man] I can tell you that the O is Paddy's Irish Whiskey
at 28.99, and the X is Teeling's 24 Year Old Irish Whiskey
at 670 euro.
- 24. - Whoa.
We got it right!
- [Man] And X is Teeling 24.
- Well done.
- [Man] The O is Paddy's Irish Whiskey at 28.99.
(laughter)
- [Man] And the X
is Teeling 24 Year Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey.
- Fucking Teeling's, man.
Fuck me.
- That's difficult to drink.
I don't enjoy that.
- Oh, have another sip.
- But you know the price on it now.
- No, no, no, I'm not even joking, have another sip of that.
(laughter)
We may have jumped the gun.
No, we absolutely did jump the gun.
- That's suckling on the tit of Jesus
and that's suckling on the tit of God.
That's pretty much what we figured out.
- Oh, we got to see the bottle.
- Oh, ooh. - Oh.
Damn.
- Wow. - Yeah.
- Look at that, just look at it.
Lay your fucking eyes on that.
- Over here there's a, what's that for?
- A little certificate thing, as well?
- Of authentication.
- That is beautiful.
(coughs)
- [Man] You okay?
- Yeah.
The whiskey was like, I wanna go back in the bottle.
I want out of this popper's esophagus
and I want back into the bottle.
- But I don't wanna let go of them.
- [Man] I know, I know.
- Could you just let me hold it,
just let me hold it for a little bit.
No just, but let me just-
- It's okay, Dermot.
- Is it?
- You've gotta let them go.
- Is anything ever gonna be okay again?
- [Man] Now that you've had a selection
of cheap versus expensive alcohol,
what you think of the experience?
- I am sober.
- I am completely sober, as well.
- Cheap does not mean bad. - Agreed.
- Expensive does not mean good.
Everything was lovely, it was nice to drink.
Just because something costs 670 euro
doesn't mean that it's inherently better.
However, that being said, it was really good whiskey.
- I'm not a vodka guy,
but that was the nicest vodka I've ever had.
- And that made me understand why people are vodka people
when they have money because it's so fucking smooth.
It was beautiful.
- Now you're fucked now.
- I'm fucked.
- 'Cause you have a taste of what the rich life is like.
- Yeah.
I can never go back.
The TRY Channel has just ruined me now.
Now every time when I have a sip of my cheap alcohol,
I'll go, well, it's not a 670 euro bottle, but it'll do.
The TRY Channel has ruined me.
Everybody stay tuned, Sarina has a message.
- Okay, so if you like this video,
we have plenty more videos all on this screen over here.
And you want to click on the subscribe button
and the little bell for notifications.
And then you get all the new videos that we have.
- That was beautiful, that was beautiful.
Just brings a tear to the eye. (sniffs)
